glows with good karma, optimal , and a joyful, blissful
life. Therefore, whatever she is eating, doing, teaching—we must
perk up and take notice. How and what we eat is not only integral

dulled taste buds and get our depressed palates in shape. Whole

riddled with substitutions for meat and ice cream. Sharon serves

and warm us in the long term. Sharon's recipes are simple, tasty,
and most importantly, recipes you will make again and
again. Sharon keeps her ingredient lists short, which makes life
for busy moms (like me!) committed to ful family eating
easier. This is a book all vegan-curious, committed -eaters,
and anyone looking to up their ante and notice a quick
difference should have handy. You don't have to be a
patchouli-swinging back-bender to eat these foods; any novice or
mom next door can learn endless tional truths and tips with
this book within reach. If you could live fully without
resorting to ceuticals, help the environment by eating
sustainably, be in fabulous shape, feel wonderful, and be
committed to ahimsa—to not participating in the brutal
of animals on factory farms—non harming... why on earth wouldn't
you? This is the truth in Sharon's message. It's a simple
decision to make. Try this diet. Eat this delicious food. The
transformation in your body and mind will be dramatic, and you'll
ride the sexy changes deliciously on this treasure tomb of
powered tastiness!"
